This document outlines five commitments that define a Christian, including seeking God passionately, obeying God joyfully, and connecting with other followers of Jesus by building accountable relationships. It defines accountable relationships as those in which individuals call each other to account for their faith, and explains six essentials for building such relationships: meeting face-to-face regularly, using God's word, being honest beneath surface levels, developing trust, and spurring spiritual growth.

This is a study of the fruit of the Spirit called goodness, and it is one of the best, for it illustrates Christlikeness. He was the best of all good people who have ever lived.
God actually gave us the A B C of how not to have sex in Romans 1:19-32. Obviously Satan has effortlessly rewritten and republished this to “The A B C of how best to have sex”
God is the highest definition of all that is good, especially humble unselfishness. How would have ever imagined a God so intensely unselfish as the God of the Bible? he blows my mind in every category! I hope your mind expose with wonder and gratitude as you get to know this God--the only true God--the God Who sent Jesus to rescue a bunch of rebels like us--not because he had to but because He wanted to!
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
Modern approaches to Muslim evangelism include the so called Insider Movement and Common Ground. Both compromise the truth of Christian faith in an attempt to win over Muslim converts. My contention is that one must trust Biblical truth, stand firm in the faith and present the gospel in a clear form to Muslims. Contextualization is fine to make a subject understandable, but the truth of the message must never be compromised. This compromise distorts the faith, undermines the position of true converts, and deprives Muslim converts to Christianity of the truths they need to experience the power of the truly committed Christian life.
10 Tips for Christians looking to talk about homosexuality and how it relates to the Gospel. What does it take for our communities to be plausible places for people to give up sex to follow Jesus? How might we help all people find their identity in Christ, not their sexuality.
Making disciples who make disciples is at the heart of the call to follow Christ. Here are some notes on the gap between our intentions and practice (adapted from Greg Ogden's book, Transforming Discipleship).

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

“One of the greatest reasons
Christians get into trouble is that
they don’t have to answer to anyone
for their lives. Ask around. You will
learn that very few have built
accountability into their Christian
lifestyle. It is the missing link of
Christianity.” (Patrick Morely)

“The media technologies we
use to communicate are designed
for speed and urgency - not for
thoughtful reflection and
undistracted conversation. They are
designed, not to encourage depth in
existing relationships, but . . .

. . . to widen our network and
our ability to say less that is of real
substance. Quick and impulsive
replies dominate the landscape;
thoughtful, longer replies seem out
of place and unnecessary.”
